T77 Flyby Quick Facts description now up: http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/files/20110620_...y_quicklook.pdf

And the Looking Ahead for Rev 149 from CICLOPS: http://www.ciclops.org/view/6787/Rev149

Most of the RADAR modes being used: radiometry, scatterometry, altimetry, HiSAR, and an SAR Swath near Ksa crater.

Might get a neat 3D view of the crater and ejecta pattern when combined with T17 data.

Nice one Mike. Here’s another taken with the NAC on June 23rd from 1.44M km. The image is centered on Belet and the area recently inundated by the T72 arrow storm. Of interest this area was within the estimated origin of the previous ‘tropical storm’ in April of 2008. Likely this area received methane precip back then as well. Makes one wonder if this area was relatively more ‘saturated’ with methane when the ‘arrow storm’ passed by in Oct. 2010 making the changes from the latter storm more prominent than any other area in its path. The images below are animated to show the T77 image, its coverage on VP’s SAR swath map, the area inundated by the arrow storm (from the Science paper of Turtle et al http://www.sciencemag.org/content/331/6023/1414 and finally the estimated location of the 2008 storm origin (green square in the Gemini N image from the Schaller et al paper http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v460/...ature08193.html
